 Message from the President
As a state-funded agency, Gavilan College has certainly been cognizant of
the current tough economic times. Fortunately, the budget compromise
reached by the legislature and governor recognizes the important contri-
butions Community Colleges make in helping California’s economy grow.

Community College enrollment levels are up across the state, as un-

employed workers return to college for education and retraining, and
university-bound students save money by completing their lower-division
coursework at community colleges. At Gavilan College, Spring enrollment
is up 17%, vs. 9.5% statewide, continuing a three-year trend of double-
digit enrollment growth.

Although there are cuts in the state budget, (such as eliminating the 0.68 %
COLA for the current year), Gavilan College remains in a strong financial posi-
tion, thanks to prudent and conservative budgeting and the participation of staff,
students and faculty in an Expenditure Reduction Task Force. Through the work
of the Task Force, over $860,000 in budget reductions have been identified and
accepted for the current year, and additional reductions have been identified for
2009-10. No staff will be laid off, and students will not be turned away to achieve
these reductions.

We continue to implement Measure E – completing the purchase of land for two

future campuses in Coyote Valley and San Benito County. Renovations on four
main campus buildings will be completed this year. To accommodate all of the
additional students seeking higher education, we are adding more portable struc-
tures and seeking additional space to rent throughout the district.

We are proud to be your College of Choice.
